"Oh, right, I mentioned before that I wanted to see Mrs. Doris about her health. There's no time like the present, so let's go today and avoid forgetting later."
Hearing Lin Ruo's words, Klein was stunned for a moment, then said with some surprise, "Go now? Do we need to prepare anything?"
Klein had a good impression of Mrs. Doris, who had taken care of him since he moved in. Now that he heard Lin Ruo say he wanted to treat her, he was naturally very enthusiastic.
Then Klein thought of something and asked, "By the way, Lin Ruo, do you have a practicing physician's license?"
It wasn't that he didn't believe in Lin Ruo's "medical skills." After all, Klein knew about Lin Ruo's Beyonder item that could simulate any Beyonder power of a high sequence. With such a Beyonder item, Lin Ruo naturally had the ability to treat Mrs. Doris.
But without a practicing physician's license, it would be difficult for Klein to persuade Jurgen the lawyer. After all, people would definitely not joke about their grandmother's health and let an unlicensed barefoot doctor treat her.
"Don't worry, do you think I wouldn't consider this?" Lin Ruo glanced at him and leisurely took out a certificate from his pocket.
This was a certificate he had specifically applied for in the past two days after deciding to treat Mrs. Doris.
"It's good that you have a license." Klein immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"But we do need to prepare a bit. Wait a moment, I'll go get the prepared potion." After Lin Ruo finished speaking, he used his Traveling ability to return to his own office in a flash. After obtaining the previously prepared potion, he returned to Sherlock's office.
— After meeting Mrs. Doris before, confirming her physical condition, and deciding to treat her, Lin Ruo had already prepared the potion in advance according to her situation, but he had been too busy these past two days and kept forgetting to bring it over.
"Let's go. Fortunately, I went to Jurgen's lawyer's house for dinner as your friend last time, otherwise I would have to create a new face." Lin Ruo said with a smile, not only not feeling ashamed of his shameless mooching and cat-petting behavior last time, but also feeling very proud.
"You're even proud of it…" Klein complained, not forgetting to remind, "I know you like Brody, but you must be reserved this time. That's someone else's cat."
"I know, I know." Lin Ruo nodded perfunctorily.
The two then tidied themselves up and went out. After a few steps, they arrived at the door of Jurgen's lawyer's house. After Klein took the initiative to ring the doorbell, the door was opened before long. Although the weather was still relatively warm, Mrs. Doris, who was still wearing more layers than others, appeared before them.
"Mr. Sherlock, Mr. William, are you here as guests?" Mrs. Doris asked in surprise, looking at the two people outside the door.
— William was Lin Ruo's alias. He usually used this name when he and Klein, disguised as Sherlock, met other people, such as Jurgen and the landlady.
"Mrs. Doris, William is actually a very excellent doctor. After seeing you last time, he realized that you might have some lung problems, so he wants to take a look at you," Klein introduced seriously.
Lin Ruo's gaze also reluctantly shifted from Brody, who was at Mrs. Doris's feet. It wasn't that he was a cat fanatic. Usually, when he saw other cats, he would also find them cute, but he didn't like them this much. It could only be said that sometimes fate was very wonderful. Lin Ruo liked the black cat Brody at first sight.
But no matter how much he liked petting cats, it wouldn't delay him from doing serious business, so Lin Ruo immediately gave Mrs. Doris a gentle smile.
"It's nice to see you again, Mrs. Doris."

"Writing a letter to Klein again?"
Looking at Melissa, who was sitting at the table, writing something seriously with her head down, Benson, who had just returned, took off his coat and put it aside, asking.
"Yes." Melissa nodded, suddenly sighed, and showed a worried expression on her face, "I'm always worried that he won't be able to take care of himself alone in Backlund… And he's sending us a full five pounds every week now. I'm really worried that he won't have enough money. I heard that things are very expensive in Backlund."
Five pounds may not be much for Beyonders, but it was a lot for the Moretti family. After all, even middle-class people who were doing well only had an annual salary of three to four hundred pounds in this day and age.
In fact, Klein was just afraid that sending too much money home would make Benson and Melissa misunderstand that he was doing something bad, otherwise he would have loved to send a large sum of money home directly.
After all, even if he was short of money, it was only relatively speaking. Klein was willing to send a few hundred or even a thousand pounds home.
But Klein knew that if he really did that, his brother and sister would probably go straight to Backlund and ask him, sweating profusely, if he had robbed a bank.
"But this is the fifth letter this month…" Benson said helplessly, but he couldn't help but understand Melissa. After all, he himself was very worried about Klein. As the eldest brother who had raised his younger siblings like a father, Benson's concern for Klein was no less than Melissa's.
So Benson then said, "Actually, we can go to Backlund to see Klein and come back after two days. Isn't Klein always hoping that you will take the university entrance exam in Backlund? We can go and see the situation."
After a pause, before Melissa could object, Benson added, "And don't forget that Klein said that the government might soon adopt a unified examination law to select talents. There have indeed been rumors about this matter for some time… If it is really implemented, then I may have to resign to prepare for the exam and go to work in Backlund in the future. It's not a bad thing to go and see in advance, is it?"
Hearing this, Melissa, who originally didn't want to waste travel expenses because of frugality, but secretly missed Klein very much and wanted to go to Backlund to see, was immediately persuaded. She seemed to have thought of something and said:
"Benson, you're right, and we have to go and see how Klein is doing. What if he's not doing well, but doesn't tell us because he's afraid we'll worry? That would be terrible."
"That shouldn't be the case. Melissa, you have to believe in Klein. He's not a child anymore and can still take care of himself." Benson recalled Klein's various performances after graduation and couldn't help but defend him.
"I hope so. I don't know if Klein has met a girl he likes in Backlund…" Melissa's thoughts wandered to other directions, muttering a few words, and suddenly looked at Benson, her eyes falling on the latter's increasingly high hairline, and said with some worry:
"And Benson, you're not young either. You haven't found a woman you like all these years in order to take care of me and Klein. Now that I and Klein have grown up, Benson, you should also consider your lifelong happiness…"
Benson: … …
Sis, can we change the subject?
